Dolomedes tenenbrosus?

Found this beauty while out looking for millipedes the other night. She's about 1" body and 3" legspan.

Missed out on a big grey wolf spider that night.

I love the striping...I received 2 D. tritons this week for free from a coworker in exchange for ID'ing them for his dad lol. Never seen a spider run out over open water to grab a swimming cricket no substrate in either tank...unless you count water. There are rocks and other fake tree/plant decorations though so they can get out of the water. One laid an egg sac two nights ago *crosses fingers*
